Habitat Stewardship Work Party with Nisqually Land Trust @ Lackamas Flats Protected Area
Tickets
Mar 22 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm

Join us to remove tubes from our old plantings at our Lackamas Flats Protected Area. We put on these plant protectors to shield young plants from hungry wildlife, but now these plants have outgrown their tubes, and we need your help to take them away.

Register for directions to the worksite.

Work parties are rain or shine. Individual, pre-packaged, light snacks are provided. Minors are welcome provided they are accompanied by an adult.

Contact Emily at emily@nisquallylandtrust.org with any questions.

Craftopia: Packing Party @ Craftopia
Tickets
Mar 22 @ 5:00 pm

Join us once a month to help prepare and pack up craft kits. These kits are donated free of charge to the Tacoma Public Library and Pierce County Library systems. The libraries then distribute them to the community so people of all ages can learn new projects and explore their creative side.
Packing parties include prepping of supplies and stuffing ziplock bags with materials. We stuff between 100-300 bags each time, so lots of repetitive motion. Beverages and snacks are provided, but feel free to bring your own as well.
RSVP’s appreciated but not required.

Relay for Life of Tacoma @ Mt Tahoma High School
Tickets
Jun 10 @ 1:00 pm

One person can make a difference. In May 1985, Dr. Gordon “Gordy” Klatt walked and ran for 24 hours around a track in Tacoma, Washington, raising money to help the American Cancer Society with the nation’s biggest health concern: cancer.

Gordy spent a grueling 24 hours circling the track at the University of Puget Sound. Friends, family, and patients watched and supported him as he walked and ran more than 83.6 miles and raised $27,000 through pledges to help save lives from cancer. As he circled the track, he thought of how he could get others to take part. He envisioned having teams participate in a 24-hour fundraising event. The next year, 19 teams were part of the first Relay For Life event at the historical Stadium Bowl and raised $33,000.

After previously battling stomach cancer, Gordy passed away from heart failure on August 3, 2014 at the age of 71. But his legacy lives on. He shaped an idea that started as one man walking and running a track and helped turn it into a global fundraising phenomenon.
